The world is impermanent, and that's probably it.

Zhang Xuan was still in the county hall the day before yesterday, and today he was already in prison, only accompanied by the dry straw beside him, just to take a look at the moonlight is a luxury, and the dim environment makes him unable to even distinguish between day and night, even if he wants to ask, he can't ask.

Because he knew that he was not lenient to people on weekdays, and many people in the yamen were only afraid of the authority of his superiors, and when he was in trouble at this time, no one would come to take care of him.

And among the clans, there is no one in a prominent position who can help him.

Classmates and bosses see him as mediocre, although they have contacts, but most of them are also general friends, and they are really friends, either they are not yet in the first place, or they are also like him.

Shinong Gonggong, he is superior, and he is still so difficult, so we can see how difficult other people are in this world.

Zhang Xuan felt sad and indignant in his heart, and then began to hate these clans, corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

I have also made up my mind in my heart, one of which is that if he is interrogated this time, he must not let go of his mouth and confess his guilt no matter what, otherwise he will never recover, and he will never be able to turn over; The second is that he wants to fight these people to the end, Skynet is restored, and justice can't just be lost.

He has been in Beijing several times, and he has heard some about the temper and character of today's son, and the matter has come to this point, so he simply said all the words that have been accumulated in his heart in the past three years!

The bureaucrats and gentry occupy the land and occupy the land, but they do not pay the grain, and the people have no land and no land, but pay the grain.

Outside, by mid-April, the Kyosato faction had arrived.

After the cabinet vote was intended to be approved by the emperor, the cabinet elders Wang Wei and Wang Bing ordered that Liu Chun, the servant of the Criminal Department, Xie Guangji, the right deputy of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Chen Ding, the imperial historian, should go to Huai'an Mansion to thoroughly investigate the case, and the Shaofu and Dali Temples were accompanied by officials.

On this trip, only Langzhong came from Shaofu, and the people from the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all second- and third-in-command, and it was deliberately arranged by the above, and the official position of the people from Shaofu could not be too high, otherwise it would be inconvenient to investigate the case after leaving Beijing.

But you can't help but come, in case the people below don't know what to do, and think that you are not his boss and have no authority to govern, then it will be a joke.

It is also because of the 'menacing' above, the upper and lower officials of Huai'an Mansion and Shaofu are extremely nervous.

Fortunately, in the face of this situation, the big and small officials also have a little experience, they have already been beaten down, and the counties and townships and clans are responsible for their own responsibilities.

The people in the county town are the same, since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, and the people also know that the parents and officials are the most important, the emperor?

Which fucking has ever seen the emperor.

And it's not like there hasn't been a lawsuit in the past, and as soon as the people in the capital are gone, the bad luck will begin.

It's not like it's useful for you to rush over and say that so-and-so has done these bad things. People can flatly deny it, if there is no evidence, it is slandering the court officials, and this crime is enough to kill the head.

In addition, the prefect Tian Ruofu sent people to monitor Qincha's itinerary inside and outside.

He will find out at most by night.

Liu Chun, Xie Guangyi and other officials all arrived according to the normal way, and after calculating the time, Tian Ruofu led a team to greet Qincha.

In the evening, there will be a welcome dinner.

The ...... of the capital, the local, and the Shaofu There were to be thirty officials, large and small, and they sat at three full tables.

But after three rounds of drinking, Xie Guangji, the right deputy capital, first began to raise doubts.

"Why is there no Shanyang Zhixian Zhang Xuan among the people who toasted just now?"

The squire of the criminal department on the side also nodded, the two of them had already summed it up.

That letter is not only on Zhang Xuan, but he is the key figure in this case.

If he had been smarter and had gathered evidence before he played, it would have been easier. If this is not the case, it will take some trouble to carefully sort out the facts of this case.

is not such a person, somewhat unexpectedly.

Xie Guangxie asked in a word, and the people at the three wine tables were a little silent.

Someone bowed their heads, masking their expressions.

Someone pretended to be drunk and squinted and giggled.

It's better if none of the matter has anything to do with you.

Tian Ruofu is not unprepared, but this good wine and food are all greeted, and it is a little ...... to bring it up in person

He glanced at Yan Liwen, and Yan Liwen cast a rescue look at Zhu Weichun, who came down from Shaofu Langzhong this time.

However, Zhu Weichun is a person who pretends to be drunk, and he doesn't bird him at all.

In this way, more than ten seconds passed, and although it was not long, no one spoke, which was really weird.

Xie Guangxie was also dissatisfied, "Is it because the official speaks with an accent?" Or are you all drunk? Zhang Xuan, the magistrate of Shanyang County, where is he now?! ”

"This ...... Please also ask for forgiveness," Tian Ruofu took his wine glass and got up and smiled, "Listen to the explanation." Zhang Zhang, the magistrate of Shanyang County, is a lonely and eccentric person, who thinks very highly of himself, and it is difficult to get along with his colleagues, and no one wants to have anything to do with him. Moreover, the lower officials also had to ask the Qin for a crime of laxity under the royal authority. The day before yesterday, the lower officials counted the grain stored in Shanyang County, and found that half of the 12,000 stone of grain was missing, and only 5,800 stone remained. ”

"The warehouse stores grain, human life is at stake, and in case of disaster, it is the last ration for the people. In the first year of Zhengde, His Majesty sent the elder cabinet to inspect the two capitals and thirteen provinces. As a parent official, he did not dare to make mistakes in grain storage. The lower official asked where the missing 6,200 stone of grain went, and Zhang Xuan rebelled against the lower official, saying that the lower official ordered him to lend it to Qingjiangpu County! ”

The magistrate of Qingjiangpu County also came today, and he immediately cooperated: "The officials can testify in this matter, and there is no matter of borrowing grain at all." ”

"Really, really?" Liu Chun, the waiter of the Criminal Department, felt a little suspicious, "In broad daylight, he is a county magistrate who wants to detain your prefect for something unwarranted?" Isn't that unreasonable? ”

Tian Ruofu sighed in his heart, he was not afraid of normal investigations, but if the people above preset a certain result, they must catch him, which would be troublesome.

Officials in the world, how many of them are eyeing him to check, but they can't find out the problem?

Most of them still have to turn a blind eye, and that's pretty much it.

Fortunately, the magistrate of Qingjiangpu County is quite calm, he replied: "Shanyang County and Qingjiangpu County are located on the south bank of the Huai River, if there is water, then the water will be sent together, if there is a drought, it will not only be a drought, the geography and people of the two counties are similar, and the food consumed in previous years was similar. If there is surplus grain in Shanyang County, then Qingjiangpu County will also have it, and there will never be a shortage of grain in Qingjiangpu County, but Shanyang County will be asked to borrow grain. The lower officials dare to guarantee with the head of the item, when Qingjiangpu is short of food, Shanyang County must have no food to borrow! ”

These words are loud and clear, even Liu Chun is not good at saying anything.

The matter of grain storage in the main warehouses is indeed sensitive.

Not to mention whether Zhang Xuan really swallowed the stored grain,

The main thing is that they are all newcomers, and the situation here is not clear, maybe Zhang Xuan swallowed it, maybe he didn't swallow it, the key is to have enough evidence, otherwise although they are poor, they can't stand up for others without evidence.

This is the skill of a person who can be an official, that is, when the situation is unclear, not to easily expose his position.

Zhang Zhang, they don't recognize him, if you say that Tian Ruofu's words are problematic, what if Zhang Xuan really swallowed the stored grain?

No one can guarantee such a thing.

Xie Guangxie and Liu Chun are naturally 'good at being officials', no matter what, first understand the situation clearly, this is the first thing.

The atmosphere was silent again, and Tian Ruofu felt a little relieved in his heart, and he could probably understand these thoughts.

But the next second, an untimely voice appeared.

"If there is such a case, then it must be carefully investigated, Tian Zhifu, have you arraigned this Shanyang Governor County?"

Tian Ruofu was unhappy in his heart, but fortunately, he was still anxious, "I know that the upper errand is coming, in order to avoid suspicion, the lower official has not yet been arraigned, and everything is subject to the instructions of the Qin mission." ”

It was Yushi Chen Ding who spoke.

He asked Xie and Liu for orders,

"Xie Vice Xian, Liu Shilang, since this is the case, it is better to interrogate Zhang Xuan first."

Liu Chun already felt that there was something greasy in it, how could there be such a coincidental thing, such a person would commit something at this juncture, and he was a waiter in the Criminal Department, and he still had some experience in handling cases, for example, he couldn't listen to one-sided words.

"I think I can."

Xie Guangxie didn't have any opinions.

In this way, Chen Ding sat down with confidence.

There were no other twists and turns in the banquet after that, no matter what, Tian Ruofu still served these Qincha as grandfathers, and some filial piety was not a problem.

This has nothing to do with whether or not to handle the case, and the officialdom must have this set of things for each other. Otherwise, who can be supported with only a few taels of silver?

After receding,

Tian Ruofu and Yan Liwen lost their temper, this incident started because of Shaofu, and the people in Shaofu can't make it as if they have nothing to do with themselves.

Yan Liwen naturally knew that the matter was important, so he took advantage of the night to find Shaofu Langzhong Zhu Weichun.

As a result, I wish Weichun three words,

"Leave it alone."

Yan Liwen was stunned when he heard this, he was also a confidant, so he had the courage to say: "The lower officials are puzzled, please ask for instructions." ”

Zhu Weichun was not in a hurry, stroked his beard and said,

"It's about the above. Shaofu and the road of north-south Zhili belong to Wang Wei Wang Ge Lao, why do you think he wants to check? ”

"Why?"

"No matter what happens, it's always good to check yourself. Find out me, find out you, take us, and hand over the errands, and the people above will be safe and sound. But ......"

The word 'but' he accentuated his tone, "It is precisely because of the need to save oneself that some people do not let it save themselves." ”

"What does Zhu Lang mean...... Another Wang Ge Lao?! ”

"If you can't hurt your bones, then don't do anything."

"But if you can't find out what happened, how can these people from the Criminal Department explain it?"

"The case is not handled effectively, and it is just deceived by others. How much punishment can Your Majesty have? But if the road construction goes out of the big basket, this responsibility is not easy to escape. So you don't have to care about how these people from the Criminal Department or the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigate, the key is to see how it is written on his case file. It's heavy, and they can't get through the level of Xiao Wangge's old level. ”

"Zhu Langzhong...... Xia Guan still can't feel at ease, why do Zhu Langzhong dare to be so sure? ”

Zhu Weichun's face turned cold, "The pool of water in the capital is very deep. It's better to ask less. This time, you can also see clearly, you and me, it is useless to rely on anyone. The people above say that whoever is sacrificed will be sacrificed. So the key is not to have an accident. What do you think is the situation now? What can you do? In the current situation, something big has happened to you, who can keep you? There may be salvation this time, but there may never be a next time! ”

"Xia Guan understands! Xia Guan understands! Yan Liwen was flattering and felt a little more at ease, but these few words of scolding made him very happy.
